LOU WILLIAMS SUFFERS TORN ACL INJURYHawks guard will have surgery at date to be determined

ATLANTA --
Hawks guard Lou Williams experienced a right knee sprain during Atlanta’s game
last night at Brooklyn. X-rays taken during the game at the Barclays Center were
negative. An MRI and examination today by Dr. Michael Bernot at Peachtree
Orthopedics in Atlanta revealed a tear to his anterior cruciate ligament in his
right knee.

him during his recovery," said President of Basketball Operations and General
Manager Danny Ferry. "He has been a complete professional in every sense of the
word and know that approach, along with his work ethic, will serve him well in
his rehabilitation."

Williams will now undergo a period of rest before having surgery to repair the
injury at a date to be determined. He will miss the remainder of the season and
a timetable for his recovery will be announced following surgery.

The 6-foot-1 guard from Snellville ranks third on the team in scoring (14.1),
assists (3.6) and steals (1.1). He is shooting .422 from the field, including
career-bests of .367 from three-point range and .868 from the free throw line,
in 28.7 minutes per game in 39 games (nine starts).
